Kosage Chavis Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am hoping everyone can help me out with a special request. I am still in the process of purchasing parts for my 55 Buick. I am asking anyone that knows of any junkyard(s) that sell any classic car parts to provide their info here. A name, city/county and/or phone number would be a big help. I know we have a vast number of members who live in many different places and know of or have visited these junk yards. I appreciate all of your help. Thank you.

Frank DuVal Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 George Philbates died a few years ago, but I see his business is still listed in Lanexa, New Kent County, VA. 804-843-2884 Over the years I bought many parts from George. In the 80s he was crushing 70s cars and keeping anything older. Where he kept finding old stuff amazed me. Most came out of Norfolk/Chesapeake area he told me. Close enough for you to go see for yourself who is running it and what the inventory might be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the whole morning looking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 NOT sure about how good this website is OR what "networks" it might be involved with . . . www.car-part.com Many salvage yards used to be on a phone circuit to take to each other, to make inquiries and such. I was always a little skeptical of it due to the fact the "inventory" was in the yard operator's "head" AND could be subject to their particular mood on a given day/hour.

Frank DuVal Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 That was the "Hot Line" and it was an open microphone telephone system. Always on. Customers could listen to the speaker while they were standing in line. "65 Skylark 3/4 right front, 65 Skylark 3/4 right front, I got one, Al's " etc etc. Great entertainment while shopping.
